Problems starting mod_geoip

Problems starting mod_geoip

After installing mod_geoip / geoip-api-c with success, I am getting an
error trying to re-start Apache using 'LoadModule geoip_module
libexec/mod_geoip.so'
Error:
*Cannot load /usr/local/apache/libexec/mod_geoip.so into server: Shared
object "libc.so.7" not found*
My server software is a bit dated but rock solid:
Freebsd: 4.7
Apache: 1.3.42
geoip-api-c: 1.4.8_3 (newest package version available on freebsd.org)
mod_geoip: 1.3.5
I was not able to build a newer version of the api-c on my server, that is
why I ended up using a the package from freebsd.org.
Any help would be appreciated, I really need to get this to work,
mod-security / .htaccess alone are not cutting it anymore. Thanks
